chadhti javani meri chaal mastani tune kadar na jani rama
chadhti javani meri chaal mastani tune kadar na jani rama

uljhe kaahe re mai hu surat me tujhse badh ke kahi
thehri tu hai jawan toh mai bhi sajila kuchh kam nahi
hay duniya hui re mere pyar me divani lakho ki mai diljani rama
chadhti javani meri chaal mastani tune kadar na jani rama

woh kaun aisi hai jiska hai rup aisa jadu bhara
laaye mai bhi toh dekhu tu jiski dhun me hai bawara
woh kaun aisi hai jiska hai rup aisa jadu bhara
laaye mai bhi toh dekhu tu jiski dhun me hai bawara
hoye uske kadam chume teri javani, woh hai saher ki rani rama
chadhti javani meri chaal mastani tune kadar na jani rama
hay rama, hay rama, hay rama

ab toh tohe batana hoga re kaisi chhab hai meri
oh ho maine kaha kab dikhne me tu hai aisi buri
ab toh tohe batana hoga re kaisi chhab hai meri
oh ho maine kaha kab dikhne me tu hai aisi buri
dekhe jo mohe tere pyar ki woh rani ho jaye saram se pani rama
chadhti javani meri chaal mastani tune kadar na jani rama
ho rama, ho rama, ho rama

My youth ascends, my gait a sway,
You never knew my worth, O Rama.
My youth ascends, my gait a sway,
You never knew my worth, O Rama.
My youth ascends, my gait a sway,
You never knew my worth, O Rama.
Alas, Rama, Alas, Rama, Alas, Rama.

Why entangle yourself? I outshine you in form,
If you are young, then I am not less adorned.
Why entangle yourself? I outshine you in form,
If you are young, then I am not less adorned.
The world, in love with me, has gone mad,
I am the beloved of a million hearts, O Rama.
My youth ascends, my gait a sway,
You never knew my worth, O Rama.

Who is this, whose form holds such magic?
Let me see, for whom you are crazed, erratic.

Let me see, for whom you are crazed, erratic.
Her feet will kiss your youth, she is the city's queen, O Rama.
My youth ascends, my gait a sway,
You never knew my worth, O Rama.
Alas, Rama, Alas, Rama, Alas, Rama.

Now you must tell me of my beauty’s gleam,
Oh, I said, when did you ever see me so mean?
Now you must tell me of my beauty’s gleam,
Oh, I said, when did you ever see me so mean?
She, seeing my love, your queen would turn,
To water, in shame, O Rama.
My youth ascends, my gait a sway,
You never knew my worth, O Rama.
Oh Rama, Oh Rama, Oh Rama.
